A One-Sentence Post on...Joe Carter

You know, we've spent so much time over the past decade picking apart the inadequacies in Joe Carter's game and giving him guff over his abysmal colour-commentating gig at Sportsnet that we sometimes overlook the fact that the man drove in 100 runs six times as a Blue Jay...and that ain't nothing.

I guess if Jim Rice is as marginal as they come to get into the HoF, then you'd have to give ol' Joe an awful lot of votes for that Game Six homer to get him over the hump ... but, damn, put Joe in a Sawx uni and you gotta at least wonder.

JC really isn't THAT bad. Though I'm afraid that if he didn't hit that HR in Game 6, most folks probably wouldn't remember who he is. Joe was always my favourite player, even before he touched 'em all.
